Your Editor's Catalog

A qualified editor isn't worthy of the name if he or she hasn't written something that's readable without pain and if he or she hasn't received at least a few accolades from the readership. Therefore GSC Editing presents, for your evaluation and—we hope—your enjoyment, a catalog of your editor's works.

The Dinosaur Chronicles

Aliens, creatures, time travel, and alternate dimensions mix with mystery and fantasy in this collection of fourteen tales by a dinosaur of a writer who still prefers old-style SF and fantasy that is carefully crafted, contains a twist or two, and provides satisfaction to the reader. For the hectic modern life, a short story is the ideal speculative fiction nibble between getting the kids serviced and dropping the car off at the day-care.

Tales from the Red Caboose (NEW January 2017!)

Why is that big cat smiling?

What is an alien doing in a book of train stories?

Stash is the Red Caboose's resident raconteur. He trades tales of his railroading adventures for beer and Caboose-owner Laughing Crow's occasional dinner "specials." When a stranger arrives and takes more than an ordinary interest in Stash's stories, it becomes a question as to which of the raconteur's tales are fable, and which—if any—are true.

Tales from the Red Caboose is a linked collection of five train stories, each of which goes off the rails just enough to make the SF reader want to come along for the ride.
